AMD is preparing to take its Ryzen AI Max 300 (codenamed: Strix Halo) processors to a new level of performance. The new processors will be used in powerful laptops optimized specifically for gamers and content creators. Strix Halo can push the limits in both processor and graphics performance. Here are the specs of the new processor…
AMD Ryzen AI Max 300 Strix Halo: Zen 5 and RDNA 3 power to push the limits of performance
Strix Halo comes with 16 Zen 5 cores. Most notably, these cores are optimized to perform even the most demanding tasks quickly and efficiently. These cores are said to make a difference, especially in multitasking and applications that require high performance.
On the graphics side of things, Strix Halo features a GPU equipped with 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units (CUs). With 2560 pipelines, this GPU provides exceptional performance in gaming and graphics processing tasks. This means you can comfortably use the highest settings when gaming and keep up the pace when working with large files in content production.
On the memory side, the Strix Halo utilizes a 256-bit LPDDR5X memory interface. It provides high memory bandwidth and maximizes graphics performance. The processor can allocate up to 96 GB of memory to the GPU, which is a huge advantage, especially for memory-intensive applications such as AI and big data processing.
But all this performance comes at a price: Strix Halo’s power consumption will be between 120W-133W. While delivering high performance, the energy consumption will be considerable. This means it will need to be used in laptops, especially those with powerful cooling systems.
AMD plans to offer three different models in the Strix Halo series: Ryzen AI Max+ 395, Ryzen AI Max 390 and Ryzen AI Max 385, each with different combinations of cores and GPUs. At the top end, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 will come with 16 Zen 5 cores and 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units. The mid-range Ryzen AI Max 390 will offer 12 Zen 5 cores and a GPU with 2560 pipelines. The lower-end Ryzen AI Max 385 will have 8 Zen 5 cores and 2048 pipelines.
